"...An art game, by itself, is neither inherently original nor unoriginal. Likewise, innovation, by itself, is neither good nor bad.... In the same way that a knife can be put to good or evil purposes depending on who is holding it, a game can be great or terrible depending on who makes it....
A bad
game is a bad game, and I think it's intellectually dishonest to act
like big budget games are incapable of being unique while art games are
original and wonderful by no merit other than the type of game they
are. Let's judge these things on their own merits."
- Jim Sterling, "Art games aren't innovative and innovation isn't good", published on Destructoid
PS My dearest thanks and gratitude to Leigh Alexander, whose style of making quotes interesting I mimic here.
